aaj tum jashn manao!

Aao baitho,
Kootein kuch sapney apney,
Gholein apni neeindein unmein,
Chuno, chuno, jo chunnan chaho,
Khattey, meethey, teekhey ya tazey.

Khattey ho to, jhilaaogey,
Meethet hon toh, muskaoogey,
Teekhey hon toh, thoda pani pee lo,
Tazi tazi thodi si duniya jee lo,

Aao ,
Ley aao tum takhtee apni,
Likhein kuch batein unpar hum bhi,
Dikheingey kuch chehrey unpar,
Darna mat, tum unko samjah jaogey.

Dekho ranga hai chehra apna meiney,
Tum bhi thoda rang lo apna,
Chalo jago,
abb chodo sapney,
Chalo utho,
Aaj tum jashn manao!


english translation:

Celebrate your dreams today!
Come, sit,
Let’s mash some dreams,
Mix them up with our sleeps,
Pick, pick up the one you want,
Saur , sweet, spicy or fresh.

Saur if they be, irritated you'd be,
Sweet they be, smiling you'd be,
Spicy they be, here have some water,
Lets us live this fresh, new life.

Come,
Bring along your writing boards,
Let’s write some verses on them,
You would see some faces on them,
Don’t be afraid, you’ll get to know them.

Look, I have painted my face now,
Would you also need some colors?
Wake up,
Let alone those dreams,
Wake up,
For you would celebrate your dreams today.

Sour , sweet, spicy or fresh.. tough to decide. I prefer them bland..

but your words were stimulating.. this was a delightful verse .. both in hindi and english.. you are getting better with the translation .. I can see ..
